1 Briefing Paer Assessing the Performance of Sustainable Buildings in China Synergies between BREEAM and the Chinese Assessment Standard for Green Building () Dr Chris Ward, Alan Yates and Vicky Brown - BRE

2 Introduction Since its launch in 1990, BREEAM has set scientifically robust s that go beyond regulation and ractice in minimising sustainability risks for buildings and has encouraged solutions that maximise the benefits to stakeholders including investors, develoers, designers and occuiers. It does this as art of a balanced and broad ranging evaluation of a roject s imacts and benefits that avoids over-emhasis on single asects of erformance at the exense of others. Originally develoed to meet a need from develoers in the United Kingdom (UK), the method has been used as the basis for the develoment of many locally derived schemes including LEED (US) and Green Star (Australia). A number of international versions of BREEAM are currently oerated by BRE or its artner National Scheme Oerators and in total the schemes have been used in over 75 countries worldwide. This allows a degree of international comarison whilst allowing local flexibility to accommodate differences in climate, economic oortunities, technological and constructional variations and local needs and riorities. The Chinese roerty market is growing raidly and given the imortance of China as a global economic owerhouse it is increasingly imortant that develoment is carried out in the most sustainable way ossible. Environmental roblems are severe in many of China s cities and regions. In addition, the social changes that are occurring have the otential to create roblems for many years to come if they are not tackled. For this reason the Chinese government has set targets and in many cases has mandated environmental sustainability assessments under their Assessment Standard for Green Building (), verified through the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Develoment of the Peole s Reublic of China (MOHURD). Whilst this erforms a valuable task in raising local ractice and imroving building design and construction, the method is not internationally recognised, creating difficulties when it comes to demonstrating erformance imrovements to international roerty markets. BRE s BREEAM International methods are increasingly being used to rovide this global credibility within the Chinese roerty sector as they are widely understood and resected by global roerty layers. For this reason BRE has carried out a detailed comarison of its Construction 2016 with the 2014 version of the. This document sets out the alignments that currently exist between the two s. This work has highlighted significant areas of overla between the two s. For building rojects undertaking certification against both s, this will hel to imrove the efficiency and cost effectiveness of assessments. Purose of this document This document sets out the areas where and evidence align with those required under the BREEAM International New Construction It rovides assistance and guidance for those seeking to obtain a BREEAM rating alongside a rating by setting out the areas where evidence reared to meet Three Star can be used to hel demonstrate comliance under BREEAM. The synergies identified in this document can be used to achieve significant reductions in cost and time in the assessment rocess where both and BREEAM assessments are being carried out. This allows buildings to be assessed without the need for dulication in evidence. It rovides a clear route to dual certification that streamlines the rocess of comlying with the local s and achieving an internationally acceted rating of whole building erformance that is understood and resected by the international business community globally. This document is based on current methodologies for the two s. BRE is continuing to evaluate with the aim of identifying areas where mutual recognition may be ossible in the future. At resent this is not the case given the different natures of the assessment criteria and quality assurance rocesses emloyed by the two s. BRE intend to udate this document as the s are significantly udated. BREEAM s are tyically udated on a 3 to 4 year cycle.

3 About BRE BRE was established in 1921 as the Building Research Establishment a Government owned and oerated research body focused on imroving quality and understanding in the construction sector following the First World War. Since 1997 it has had the status of a non-governmental organisation owned by the BRE Trust, a registered charity that is dedicated to research and education in the built environment. BRE is an international body and is one of the world s leading centres of excellence roviding indeendent and imartial, research-based advisory, testing, certification and training exertise in every asect of the built environment. It offers a wide range of industry tools, guidance and training roducts and services. Website: Contact: enquiries@bre.co.uk About BREEAM BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the world s first sustainability rating scheme for the built environment. It is an internationally recognised measure of sustainability for master lanning, infrastructure, buildings and communities, covering all stages of an asset s life, including new construction, in-use and refurbishment. Through its alication and use, BREEAM hels clients to measure and reduce the imacts of their buildings and in doing so, create higher value, lower risk assets that are better for eole and the environment. BREEAM building level assessments cover technical issues across ten categories as follows: 1. Management - encourages the sustainable management of design, construction, commissioning and oerational rocesses 2. Health and Wellbeing - addresses the comfort, health and safety of occuants, visitors and others within the vicinity 3. Energy - encourages the sustainable use of energy in the asset 4. Transort - encourages sustainable means of transort for the users of the asset 5. Water - encourages the sustainable use of water in the asset 6. Materials - encourages the sustainable rocurement and use of materials 7. Waste - encourages the sustainable management of construction and oerational waste 8. Land Use and Ecology - encourages sustainable land use, habitat rotection/creation and ecological imrovement for the asset site and surrounding areas/habitats 9. Pollution - addresses the revention and control of ollution associated with the asset location and use 10. Innovation - encourages the use of innovative solutions to imrove the sustainability erformance of the asset Website: Contact: breeam@bre.co.uk About the Chinese Assessment Standard for Green Building () The Chinese Assessment Standard for Green Building () has been develoed by the Chinese Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Develoment (MOHURD) and is oerated on their behalf by the Chinese Society for Urban Studies for 3 Star rated buildings and local building control bodies across China for 1 and 2 star rated buildings. It includes an evaluation system for both ublic and residential buildings. The is divided into a design evaluation method and an oerational evaluation method, both of which can result in certification. The evaluation system has eight assessment categories as follows: 1. Land Saving and Outdoor Environment 2. Energy Saving and Energy Utilisation 3. Water Saving and Water Resource Utilisation 4. Material Saving and Material Resource Utilisation 5. Indoor Environmental Quality 6. Construction Management 7. Oeration Management 8. Promotion and Innovation The indicators in each category are divided into mandatory/re-requisite and otional/scoring items. The evaluation system also has additional bonus items covered by the Promotion and Innovation category. Green Buildings are assessed as 1 Star, 2 Star or 3 Star rated buildings. Whilst the lower ratings are certified through the local regulatory systems, all Three Star buildings are indeendently evaluated through a network of aointed indeendent exerts in green buildings to give additional credibility to the rating claims.

4 How to use this document Table 2 sets out in detail the synergies between BREEAM International New Construction 2016 and (2014 version) requirements and evidence. It mas all of the s s against secific BREEAM criteria roviding guidance on the degree to which evidence collected for can be used in BREEAM assessments. Given the differences in the assessment and quality assurance rocesses between BREEAM and, it is not currently ossible for BREEAM to accet certification against as evidence of comliance with its requirements, although this is an outcome that we will be working to achieve in the future. At resent, design teams and other stakeholders will need to submit all evidence to the BREEAM International Assessor for review in the normal way. The aim is to minimise the amount of additional evidence that is required to demonstrate comliance with BREEAM and the guidance indicates the degree of additional evidence that will currently be required. In addition to setting out areas of significant alignment, the table also identifies areas where the broad aims of the and BREEAM issues are the same but methodological differences mean that there is no direct comarison between BREEAM and. In these instances it is likely that comliance with issues will aid in achieving BREEAM credits but this cannot be guaranteed. In such cases, evidence roduced for may be helful in a BREEAM assessment but additional information will be required. It should, however, be ossible to avoid unnecessary dulication of assessment evidence and/or calculations. It should be noted that buildings assessed as 3 Star rated under Three Star are likely to find it much easier to demonstrate comliance with BREEAM. Those rated as 1 or 2 Star are likely to require considerably more additional evidence. Table 2 rovides details of the alignment for each in the 2014 version of the Assessment Standard for Green Building () and the Construction The level of alignment has been classified as defined in Table 1. Table 1 - Alignment classification Symbol Alignment classification Alignment details Þ Good alignment Partial alignment General alignment Not addressed Evidence used to certify under can be used as evidence of comliance with the secified BREEAM criterion/criteria. Verification will be required by the BREEAM assessor but no further evidence is likely to be necessary. Note: This is unlikely to occur where buildings have been rated as 1 or 2 Star under. Evidence used to certify under can be used as evidence of artial comliance with the secified BREEAM criterion/criteria. Verification will be required by the BREEAM assessor and further evidence will be required to demonstrate full comliance with BREEAM requirements. Note: This is unlikely to occur where buildings have been rated as 1 or 2 Star under. The outcomes and methodologies are broadly aligned but there are material differences between the requirements of the s. For instance the required erformance levels or calculation methods may be different. It may be ossible that the evidence collected for can be used for a BREEAM assessment, although additional evidence will be required to demonstrate comliance with the secified BREEAM criterion/criteria. This classification alies where are not covered in BREEAM New Construction or BREEAM covers the issue in a comletely different way or are outside the scoe of BREEAM New Construction (e.g. cover the oerational/in-use erformance of buildings).
